In this powerful episode, the Ladies of SOSA tackle one of the most personal and rarely discussed topics in our communities — fertility struggles. From PCOS and male infertility to cultural pressures, shame, and the painful silence many women face, our panel unpacks it all. We explore how tradition, stigma, and lack of awareness shape how infertility is seen in South Sudanese and African diaspora communities. Through real stories, medical insight, and heartfelt conversation, we challenge the idea that a woman’s worth is tied to childbirth — and call for more compassion, understanding, and open dialogue.

Artificial Intelligence is moving faster than ever — from ChatGPT writing essays to AI diagnosing diseases. But what does this mean for us, the Black and African diaspora?

In this episode of Ladies of SOSA, Sahra and Christine sit down with a panel to unpack the pros, cons, and dangers of AI — how it’s reshaping jobs, education, and culture, and whether it’s moving too fast for us to keep up.

We explore:
The Job Market: Will AI take our jobs, or create new ones? (Hint: both.)


The Dangers: Bias, misinformation, and who controls the tech.


The Opportunities for Africa: From agriculture to education to healthcare, how AI could actually help the continent leap ahead.


Preparing Ourselves: The skills and mindset we need to stay ahead in an AI-driven world.


Diaspora Lens: Can AI empower global Black communities, or deepen the divides?


🎯 Expect a mix of real talk, interactive panel moments, and fun.

In this powerful episode, we address the heartbreaking knife killings of two young South Sudanese boys in Melbourne—another devastating reminder of the violence tearing through our youth. We’re joined by Maker Mayek, a Melbourne-based lawyer and the CEO of the South Sudanese Australian National Basketball Association, who shares a first-hand account of what’s happening on the ground. Together, we explore the root causes behind this wave of youth deaths, the fear gripping families, and what it means for our community’s future.

This conversation is not just about mourning loss—it’s a call to action. How do we protect our young people? What role do families, leaders, and institutions need to play? And how can we come together, across the diaspora, to stop burying our children too soon?
